If you can boil, chop and crumble then you can make this dish. It’s so easy and looks beautiful when you bring it to the table. Peas are one of my favourites because as they grow they do great things for the earth (putting nitrogen and roughage back into the soil), you can eat the pea plant leaves and those perfect green spheres go with SO many different dishes.
I serve these minted peas with potato cakes, roasted lamb, cod fillets and sausages. It’s just so versatile. I add chive flowers when I have them in the garden but they aren’t necessary, they’re just so flippin’ pretty.
